Seeking a home is exhausting...I know because we have been at it three years now. I am finally beginning to see a resolve...July hopefully. You are wise to take such good care of you and your family. It is so uplifting to learn new things and I think of how my Grandma did it without internet and social media! We are very lucky indeed. Stay well and keep pursuing your dreams my friend. <3 Createologyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17141896048450385243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-20970600200100241782018-06-01T23:39:01.701+10:002018-06-01T23:39:01.701+10:00I understand what you mean about the never ending ...I understand what you mean about the never ending house hunt! It took me 5 months to find one in my budget that would fit my needs. God opened the door for what he had prepared for me while closing doors that were not in his plans.

My husband and I follow a low carb lifestyle for weight and health (but this month with daughter's wedding we have been bad!). I also have a bunch of low carb recipes on my Pinterest Board Low Carb Life. I post as Cheryl Fewell-Brown. <br /><br />https://www.twopeasandtheirpod.com/flourless-chocolate-peanut-butter-cookies/<br /><br />I store these in the freezer and give them a minute or two to thaw. My husband loves them. I buy sugar free Lily's brand chocolate chips on Amazon. They are super expensive so I bought some molds and am planning to make my own chocolate chips next!Cheryl B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16852915019260177539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-84013099668520060102018-05-31T11:17:46.619+10:002018-05-31T11:17:46.619+10:00Jenny, no need to reply!

I love your sampler examples for this year, and I can't pick a favorite, as when I look at them individually, they are each my favorite one, until I look at the next one. I really do like that little ladybug on the wheelbarrow, though. That's are the kind of touch you add to your designs that makes them so super special! I have been praying for you to find the perfect home. Do you have to build a larger home, or can you build a small one? Friends of mine started small, paid it off, added another section, paid it off, etc. They have quite a sizable house now, and they were late forties, early fifties when they started. It's taken them about ten years, I think. Of course, they did a lot of their own building, too. He's a cabinet maker and both of them are do-it-yourselfers, but top notch at anything they do. I don't know if that's possible with building codes and neighborhood zoning in Australia, but it's a thought. Your plants look wonderful, and I guess the frog agrees. I planted rosemary, lime basil and pineapple sage for herbs, along with jelly bean tomatoes, which are small and sweet. They are all in pots, because my backyard is a hillside into the woods and down to a ravine.Susan https://www.blogger.com/profile/09159163720029661287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-60107506864612240792018-05-31T04:10:49.084+10:002018-05-31T04:10:49.084+10:00Oh Jenny I can so relate to the building or buying...Oh Jenny I can so relate to the building or buying and the mortgage issue. But we decided to build a house to our likes and wants. Scary for sure to know we'll be retiring and yet have a mortgage. We looked at houses and property for over a year. Drove thousand of miles so I feel your pain. I know we need to make some adjustments to our diet to maybe see some improvements in our health. I made one years back and that's no fried food. We might have it once or twice a month but there is so much more we could/should do. Kudos to you for taking the bull by the horns and doing it. Love the garden embroidery!Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16503798539178829225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-38572144308237087352018-05-30T22:53:29.048+10:002018-05-30T22:53:29.048+10:00Hi Jenny...did Blossom get an Instant Pot?

Your alternative creations look delicious so your skills will enable you both to enjoy yummy food along with health improvement.<br />I will pray that God will direct you to the home He has for you. <br />The embroidery on the cardigan was lovely-I have never thought of putting embroidery onto a garment before.

This post speaks to me on so many levels. I blogged today about the myth of the working woman, and that we can all be Superwomen if we stop giving our powers away. What you are doing is exactly what I meant. Nurture your family in all ways. Stop giving that power away to retailers, fast food outlets, cafe's restaurants, pharmacies, supermarkets, department stores and so on. Don't be a slave to the mortgage. Be content and at peace. It's so important for us to set the tone for the next generation, and the one after. That is our ultimate power. You are such a wonderful example to us all, and to the young women who read and hunger for knowledge of a different way of life.

I usually stick to sprouted breads, wish I knew how to make them. Well we had a weekend of donuts, waffles, potato salad, pizza.. way to much.. time for me to get back with eating right. Even though I drank lots of water, I didn't see much different..We to take extra vitamins.I used to work at a company that made them, so I was able to get them very cheap at the company store.. (50 cents) I didn't know if they were doing us any good until my husband fell from a tree 20 feet down onto a rock pile.. only a broken bone in his thumb, the doctor said he was his miracle case for the year. Bruised all over his back, and very sore.. but thank God his was alive. I told him God isn't finished with him yet. Take care.Love reading your posts on facebook.<br /> Randihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04555762519048700934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-25606554881633348832018-05-29T23:05:07.980+10:002018-05-29T23:05:07.980+10:00Happy Birthday to Blossom, the sweater is beautifu...Happy Birthday to Blossom, the sweater is beautiful!

I am pleased the grain free way of eating is giving you such good results my friend. Blossoms cardy is just gorgeous!! I do use You tube sometimes but I often forget to look on there. One of the things I would like to learn this year is to make soap myself ... have always wanted to have a go. I am pleased to read your comment about blogger not sending comments to email as I found this myself & wondered what I had done to change things. Lets hope they resolve it soon.

I love baking from scratch and growing my own fresh veggies and herbs. I’m lucky because of the climate here in Arizona I can grow almost all year. I also love to grow flowers because we all need some beauty in our lives. Love the June designs. The wheel barrow is my favorite. I don’t eat a lot of meat. Because of some digestive issues I can’t digest meat very well so learning new veggie dishes is fun for me.Joycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04109134384437864143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-77762047165441706892018-05-29T12:39:19.391+10:002018-05-29T12:39:19.391+10:00Jenny it is wonderful that your Blossom loved her ...Jenny it is wonderful that your Blossom loved her cardi so much. It was a thing of beauty and will be well used. <br />I too love You Tube. I have used the tutorials to learn many new crochet stitches and as a way of perfecting others. Since joining your stitchery club I have accessed tutorials to find out how to do some of the the stitches. I also like using You Tube to revisist some TV shows. I particularly like a program from the BBC called "Wartime Farm". Series like these open your eyes to how blessed we really are.<br />You wont be disappointed with your Kombucha. My DIL introduced me to this drink a few years ago and gave me a scoby. I even take this with me when we go away in the caravan. I dont like fizzy drinks but I do like this slightly fermented deliciousness. I am currently using frozen raspberries as the flavour for my second ferment. I have used strawberries out of the garden. Mango is also delicious. I save the fruit from the second ferment and use in muffins. <br />You will find your house. It will simply be there one day and everything will fall into place. The finding is the hard part but it is so worth the effort. Sending up prayers in the hope this will make the 'find' happen sooner rather than later.Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06964345893499561504noreply@blogger.com
